1.4 tfsi with Rs clocks??

When I was at a Skoda dealership we saw a similar issue with Octavia VRs’s, there was a issue with the micro switch at the bottom of the gear lever. Required either a new switch or a new gear lever. From memory wasn’t a cheap fix, but that is at stealer rates.

Thanks, I’ll try getting a local Indy to take a look as well as I’ve seen some scary figures being quoted on line.

Also just noticed I posted the wrong pic, my daughter sent me it alongside her own cars clocks. Fault is displayed the same way.
